Cleveland, Ohio – Feb. 1, 2010 – CONVOTHERM^® by Cleveland, manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio, is now equipping its standard line of combi-oven/steamers with an antibacterial door handle. This new door handle is made of an innovative plastic with embedded silver ions. The antibacterial effect will never change and is medically and ecologically safe.
